Day/Weight/Comment
03/09 = 159.4 First day of Spring Break! Hope to get in lots of exercise over the next 10 days!
03/10 = 160.2 Vacation food and drink. Splurged on a shrimp dip that was amazing.
03/11 = 161.2 Well, I expected yesterday morning’s “up”, but not this one. I worked hard yesterday, riding my bike 10 miles and walking 4 miles and getting 21K steps for the day. Ate well within limits. I guess this is still carry over from Friday’s splurge. Gotta get this back down! But I’m up early to ride before the rain comes.
03/12 = 162.4 Ok, this $%*#@ has got to STOP!!! I rode my bike 12.72 miles yesterday morning before the Island Way Grill Brunch Buffet (which was wonderful) then hiked 5 miles along the Hillsborough River. I ended up with 22K steps for the day. There is NO way I’ve eaten 10K calories over maintenance in the last three days, but here we are. Gonna push water and cook my own meals today and see what happens. Come on, body, get your act together!
03/13 = 160.4 That’s better! Now, gotta work back down into the 150s again.
03/14 = 159.4 Finally back where I started! YAY!

Loss to date - 14.90 lbs
Avg loss per round - 1.35lbs
R34 goal - under 136lb
3/09 - 140.30lb! Wow that must have been some meal on Wednesday evening! I know it was a larger than meal than I normally have and pasta, followed by a cheese board which I don't very often have but blimey - its hanging around!!!
Another wait for a whoosh! Should all be ok today and Saturday but Sunday is Mothers Day here in the UK so hoping to not get chocolates! Nothing else in the diary for this round other than Mothers Day so my round target of under 136lb should be achievable.
3/10 - DNW
3/11 - DNW
3/12 - 143.20lb - not at all surprised! Ate out last Wednesday and again Friday, plus Mothers Day weekend so involved chocolates, a giant cookie, cakes and a "popcorn and sweets" movie night plus a lovely dinner yesterday with all the trimmings including wine! No tracking at all.... However doing these challenges I know that these sort of weight gains aren't real gains, and that once I am back tracking properly (which I am today!) the excess will soon come off again. Before I started losing weight a weekend like this would have meant I carried on eating horribly for days if not weeks - but knowing I can have a totally off piste few days and then get back on it and get straight back in control is a good feeling
3/13 - 141.50lb - 1.7lb off and on the way back down. Good food day yesterday and 12,000 steps, food all prepped for today and gym PT session tonight so tomorrows weigh in should be all good.....
3/14 - 140.4lb - another 1.1lb off my extended weekend excesses! Goes on so quick and easy but so much harder to get back down again. 4 days to go to the end of the round and not sure I'll be quite back to where I started!! But still planning, still tracking, gym last night, gym tomorrow so will get back there eventually (even if not by Sunday morning) - 4 days to go.....! Sometimes makes you wonder if the indulgence is worth it.....

3/14 - 190.0 - That's more like it! I was worried, yesterday we went out for a friend's birthday, and I'm never sure how many calories I'm consuming at the sushi place we regularly visit. Exercising in the afternoon, 600+ cals expected

3/9 (Friday) - 219 - Yesterday I was 217.6. So, let the water weight games begin. Lol
3/10 (Saturday) - 220.2 - Hahahahaha I hafta laugh :-) but I'm getting closer to another 20 lb loss, therefore, a bounce in weight. That's what my body does. I just need to stay on point with water, food and macros. I drank over a gallon of water yesterday, but under calories by 188, wasn't hungry enough to eat them.
3/11 (Sunday) - 217.4 - Yeah. Games.
3/12 (Monday) - 217.6 - SMH - I had a talk with her (my body) She's stubborn, but I'm determined.
3/13 (Tuesday) - 218 - Has to be electrolyte imbalance, food, water, calories, macros are on point. Interesting how the body works.
3/14 (Wednesday) - 217.4 - I was not going to comment today, but I have lost 35lbs since September '17. That is 5lbs a month and one of those months I was in a plateau. Some years ago, I developed the habit of of weighing myself once a week. During a fat loss period, I know that my weight fluctuates too much from water. So, all that to say, if my weight by the end of this 10 day challenge settles to 217.4, that is a 1.2lb loss and I cannot be dissapointed with the number.

3/12 / 238.6 / I was so hungry yesterday. I ate back all calories and would have happily kept going. NOM. I'm actually glad this is just a 1.6 pound increase. I expected worse!
3/13 / 238.6 / TOM creeping up on me. Not feeling great today, but will still try to make good choices. I want to sleep, eat all the things, and sleep.

3/9 182.0- hate a heavy dinner late, no exercise to speak of
3/10 183.8 - ran a 5k and then drank too much - total liquid calorie day.
3/11 182.6 - rested... It was my dad's birthday, so I made his favorite - pork BBQ. I ate cake
3/12 184.4 - Monday, back to the grind. Did I mention I ate cake....
3/13 184.4 - Tuesday... Dinner is ready in the crock pot, whipped out some frozen chili for lunch since I failed to salad prep on Sunday. My week feels out of kilter, but I am trying to make better choices than the past weekend.
3/14 183.8 - Wednesday... I am still sucking at waking up early to work out. I have been getting up early, but putting dinner in the crock pot, making breakfast for the family, today I did a load of laundry and unloaded the dishwasher. I am accustomed to getting up at 6:30. I have been waking up at 5:15 this week. This is kind of a double whammy with the time change. I am trying to make this my new wake up time in hopes of transitioning the chores into a workout. I did get in about 1000 extra steps today. Def not a workout, but better than nothing!!

Maybe high sodium content in what you're eating = water retention. Are you drinking enough water to flush your system? Also, muscles retain water as part of recovery.9 -

One of the keys to long-term and sustainable weight loss is to cut total calorie intake, and there’s no better way to do that than by eating just a little bit less of what you currently eat. Once you get into a habit of reducing portions—especially of sugary, fatty and other nutrient-poor foods—you can fine tune your diet to incorporate more nutrient-rich foods. But paring portions is still the best first step. — Elisa Zied, MS, RDN, CDN, author of Younger Next Week7 -

Round 33 Goal = work s.l.o.w.l.y toward new goal weight 127.0
3/9 - 129.0 - yep sick, yesterday did no workout except steps, comfort-ate at work at lunch due to stress but managed to average it out over the day. Days like this happen, and one of the gifts of THIS thread is knowing that if I just deal with it and go on, I AM FINE.
3/10 - 128.8 - feeling a little better, ran a couple miles yesterday but over calories. Have to admit the anxiety and depression is getting ahead on me right now. If it weren't for THIS 10 DAYS THREAD I might have given up and started gaining again. (get to goal, don't feel better emotionally, say eff it, gain. That's the pattern I am breaking.)
3/11 - 128.2 new low - yesterday under calories, did planks, got my steps, and did "A Workout Routine" workout A. Back is sore but that's from the garden work. Feeling more able emotionally. "Bring the body and the mind will follow."
3/12 - 128.2 - yesterday under calories, ran 2.5 miles.
3/13 - 128.8 - yesterday over calories and no workout, but I got 10 hours of sleep which after the previous 3 hours night was badly needed! Not disturbed by bounce.
3/14 - 129.2 - yesterday under calories, "A Workout Routine" B with bands, a short row, and my steps (plus got 10 flights at work). Still completely unfazed by the bounce

Feeling good, after six rounds stuck right around 156, I am finally seeing some progress. Funny, this week I haven't been able to exercise due to being wiped out from a cold, but it seems to have prompted my body to release some weight, maybe do a little reset.

Totally, completely, and in all other ways undeserved! I straight up binged on stale, packaged sweet rolls yesterday (ugh), hardly had any water, and I haven't exercised in a week because I've been sick. I also had a soda for the first time in many months. It's like bizarro weight loss rules. I'm going to start exercising again today. Only .5 lb to the 50 lb mark!

Hiked yesterday and went to TRX tonight. Good on calories.

Day/Weight/Comment
3/9 = 206.6 (-1.0). Good start, but this little whoosh just gets me back to zero. It officially took me 6 days to recover completely from last Saturday's 4.0 lb gain, but it finally happened. This was my normal pattern before this challenge. I need to remember how long it takes me to recover from a bad day, even a bad meal (6 days, apparently). That all being said, I'm energized. My knee feels great this morning without pain killers. I'm going to the gym tomorrow (need to rest one more day after my cortisone injection), and I'll get in my weights and my HIIT. It feels SO GOOD to be back down to zero. I'm going to destroy this weekend. No eating out. Everything planned. I might even cook. No wifey temptations, because she's in SF with her sister and friend.
3/10 = 207.8 (+1.2). LOL. Can't blame my wife for the Na+ bomb(s) I consumed yesterday. Ate within calories, but was 50% over in my salt intake. Another weird thing... it was REALLY HARD to get any water down yesterday. I ended up drinking about 100 ounces, but I had to force it down more or less, and drinking water is usually not a problem for me at all. Good news is there MAY be basketball today that I wasn't expecting (I'll find out in an hour or so). Either way I'm hitting the gym, and I'm going to make it a good day eating. Knee is still feeling good; we'll see how I feel AFTER the gym. Can missing my wife cause me to gain weight?
3/11 = 208.0 (+0.2). Basketball happened. I was more than 1300 calories below maintenance. I drank a crap load of water. The scale doesn't care! It's one weigh-in, and I'm not supposed to let one weigh-in bother me. But IT BOTHERS ME!!! And yet, as I say this, I have to acknowledge that I had 580 calories of junky sweet deliciousness yesterday, and a bunch of damned Na+. Under calories yes, but was it a healthy day? Not really. I really do miss my wife.
3/12 = 207.4 (-0.6). I did well yesterday. I ate within calories, hit my macros, had a ton of water, and was under on sodium. My dinner (that wife pre-bought) was half good, half bad (chicken with rice, but the rice was REALLY salty). For the first time in I don't know how long, I actually chose to throw away my food. I tossed 80% of my rice, and it felt great. My wife is coming home tonight. I missed her a bunch, and I learned that her being gone was not a magic weight loss elixir (which I'm actually happy about). There may be basketball again tonight; if there is I'll hit the gym, if not I'll hit the gym tomorrow.
3/13 = 208.8 (+1.4). My wife is back, and I had a cheat meal with her last night (burger from my favorite place). I was only about 200 calories over maintenance, but it's never simple when it comes to cheat meals. It was amazing, and I'm going to own it. Gym tonight, and I'm going to be do weights and HIIT. Not going to beat myself up. Plus it's only 1.4 lbs (not 4!). I'm okay. Plenty of time to turn this challenge around.
3/14 = 206.0 (-2.8). WHOOSH™. This is what keeps me coming back... knowing that this can happen at any moment, as long as I'm being accountable and generally sticking to my goals. I didn't even make it to the gym last night (raining and I ride a motorcycle). This is a new low for me since coming back to MFP, and I'm NOT going to celebrate in any way! I'll try hitting the gym again tonight (can borrow my wife's car). I also have basketball on Thursday and Saturday, so I should be able to finish off this challenge STRONG!

Day/Weight/Comment
03/09: 224.6 @ 5:15am - It is always very encouraging to start off a round with a number lower than your end weight for the previous round! Standard work day with a slightly higher step count than the rest of the week's days. Throat and energy levels are better! I've been bombarded by gift sweets, so I might veer off the beaten path some this weekend... I already started with homemade hamantaschen!
03/10: 224.4 @ 5:30am - Glad to see this be stable for now despite the small additions to yesterday's menu. This was a very active day for a Saturday, but I am pretty sure I counteracted any benefits with my dinner. I had my normal Saturday setup, but missing the Shabbat meal made me feel justified to get Indian food that I destroyed despite getting far more food in the meal than I thought I would. It didn't help that I ate that at 12AM after an involved evening.
I'm hoping my lean morning will help minimize any impact.
03/11: ??? - DST had me waking up a little later, and I figured that eating so late the night before would skew my scale reading. The morning's vegan brunch was planned for, and the delicious plate was fairly compact! I'm still not sure about the sodium content, though, and an off-water schedule combined with an audible to an easy, salty, and completely off-menu dosa for dinner might not bode well for my numbers despite not feeling like a lot of food. These have been the two most undisciplined days since joining JGM10, and/but today was a great day with my SO so my perspective on this is balanced.
03/12: 228.4 @ 6:15am - Womp!!
Not awesome, but I’m not too surprised by this jump given my weekend. Back on task today with a scheduled downshift to 1300 calories. Intake goals were met, 5,000+ steps were about where I’d expect for a busy workday, and the day was pretty good overall. I gifted the remainder of the weekend’s sweets to prevent any temptations, and I’ll have to be a bit more disciplined food-wise this upcoming kaizen couple’s weekend with my SO since I had so much fun this past one, lol. I’m looking forward to more progress and hitting my first goal weight before long!
03/13: 225.4 @ 6:15am– Over 10,000 steps on a non-Friday weekday! Was a pretty good day overall, with an early dinner and light snack before 8pm as the last meal. Water intake was slightly down but still at/above 80oz. My focus has to switch back to getting more sleep and getting chi gung in the mix since both of those have been off the mark. My SO is beginning to help me with prep which should make a lot of this easier- it’s a welcome change!

Female, 5'4"
Starting Weight: 135 lbs
Goal Weight: 115 lbs - Met in late 2017
I met my goal weight in late 2017. My new goal now is to stay around 115 average. Lately I've been ranging around 110-112 lbs. Since switching to a whole food plant based diet, I can't seem to stop losing weight, despite reintroducing alcohol into my diet. It's about the seemingly unimportant decisions. But consistently making them everyday is what leads to success.
Goal This Round: Maintain 115 lbs Average

This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE.
3/9 140.5 up and down, up and down. It’s what I do. Would love to reach 139.x and continue DOWN!
3/10 142.0 Lunch At The Winery with friends and I had 1 glass of sweet wine and 1 piece of Bruschetta plus my Cobb salad. My left knee hurts again. This was a valuable “exercise” for me. Learning that that little change kicked me out of nutritional ketosis, I now know that I can’t do this at my HS reunion next month.
3/11 141.5 18 hour unplanned fast yesterday (except for BPC x 2) Maybe I’ll do it today too. I wish I had slept a few more hours!
3/12 141.0 Under on calories and macros. 21 hour fast yesterday - don’t eat if I’m not hungry.
3/13 141.5 Late dinner and I wasn’t hungry but ate anyway. Stupid, stupid, stupid! Dentist at 10am then lunch and a movie with DH.
3/14 140.5 I had a headache when I woke up and still have it. UGH. Leftovers for meals so easy prep day for me.12 -

3/14 - 178.8 Eating less the last two days & moving/exercising much more. Lots of decaf hot tea makes me feel warmer, and that seems to lead to less eating. Significantly more fish & beans, both of which I thought I’d never eat happily & by choice LOL8 -
